Description
The Organization: Merit America The American economy is broken. Today, 53 million working adults–nearly half of the U.S. workforce–do not earn a living wage. These talented workers have few options to advance: college is too long and expensive, full-time boot camp programs don’t offer enough flexibility, and online courses don’t have the structure or support to translate learning into a new career. The result? Talented workers, disproportionately people of color and women, get stuck in low-wage roles with no way to build a better life for themselves and their families. Merit America is a national nonprofit that creates pathways to family-sustaining careers for Americans stuck in low-wage work. Our fast, flexible solutions are built for working adults: We start by analyzing tens of millions of job postings to identify in-demand, high-paying tech careers and then work with industry-recognized partners to train for these roles with part-time programs that combine flexible online learning with best-in-class coaching. Finally, we support our learners in their job search, helping them connect with a broad constellation of local and national employers such as JPMorgan Chase and Infosys to land higher-earning, family-sustaining jobs. Merit America is on a mission to build a scalable pathway for workers to join the middle class through merit, not money. Since our founding in 2018, we’ve generated a projected $1 billion in near-term wage gains for our learners. Meritus College Meritus College is a new kind of not-for-profit online college, built from the ground up to meet the needs of working adults and career-changers who’ve been overlooked by traditional higher education. The problem is clear: only 33% of Pell grant recipients complete their degrees at two-year colleges within six years. College has become too rigid, too expensive, and too disconnected from both student realities and career outcomes. Meritus College is different. Our online, asynchronous programs and "workplace as laboratory" approach allow students to learn and apply new skills directly to their jobs, while receiving personalized support from dedicated coaches every step of the way. We focus on real-world skills and stackable credentials in high-demand fields, ensuring graduates are prepared for today's jobs and tomorrow's opportunities. Founded in 2025 with an inaugural Associate of Applied Science in Technology and Innovation degree, Meritus College is building a mainstream pathway to economic mobility—one designed not for the privileged few, but for the talented many who’ve too often been left behind. Role Overview  Meritus College seeks a highly detail-oriented and trustworthy Assistant Registrar / Administrative Assistant to join our team on a six-month, temporary basis with possibility of renewal. This pivotal hybrid position is primarily responsible for ensuring the integrity, accuracy, and security of all student academic records in our dynamic, fully-online community college environment, while also supporting general administration.  The ideal candidate will be a proficient user of Student Information Systems (SIS) and must have an unwavering commitment to data confidentiality and compliance with federal regulations, particularly the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). While a portion of work, including record processing and student support, is performed remotely, this role requires weekly in-person presence at our Salt Lake City office to manage and process physical student documents received via mail (e.g., official transcripts, enrollment forms) and manage associated office materials. This dual responsibility demands strong organizational skills, integrity, and self-motivation. Responsibilities Core Records Management (Remote) Manage the processing of all standard academic records actions within the Student Information System (SIS), including new enrollments, course drops/withdr
